Under normal use, regular dusting and vacuuming is all that is necessary. For spots and spills, wipe excess liquid up immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. If necessary, use clean lukewarm water only and let air dry naturally. Do not use cleaning solvents, furniture polish, oils, varnish, abrasive cleaners, saddle soaps, or ammonia water on leather. Fabric – All Kron Graded in Fabric Programs Due to the large variety of fabric materials used in Kron upholstery we recommend that you contact our customer service for information regarding specific fabrics. For COM, refer to the specific cleaning instructions recommended by the fabric supplier. Anodized or Extruded Aluminum Rinsing or cleaning with mild soap or detergent and water solution is normally all that is required to keep the anodized aluminum surface looking good. Mild abrasive cleaners will remove more difficult deposits but care should be taken not to create a localized change in the general sheen of the piece. Harsh acidic or alkaline cleaning solutions should be avoided. Bright Chrome and Brushed Chrome Clean with a wet cloth or window cleaner. For scuff marks or heavy soiling, a non-abrasive automotive chrome polish can be applied as directed. Powder coat Clean with a mild soap solution and rinse with clean, clear water. Wipe the entire surface and follow with a clean, dry cloth to buff dry. Polished Aluminum For normal cleaning, with a soft cloth apply a pre-softened paste wax to polished aluminum components following the manufacturer’s instructions. In humid atmospheres near salt water, apply the wax once a month. In other areas, apply wax every three months to maintain the appearance of the aluminum. Recommended paste wax is Semi-Chrome or Mother’s Polish. Aluminum and Stainless Steel Clean with a damp soft cloth using a mild soap solution or glass cleaner. No abrasive cleaners should be used. Laminates – High Pressure or Solid Core surfaces For normal care, clean with a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean, clear water. Wipe the entire surface, moving with the pattern and follow with a clean, dry soft cloth. If no grain direction is visible, rub with a light, circular motion. For minor repair of burns or other stubborn marks, apply a nonabrasive liquid kitchen cleaner with a soft cloth soaked in warm water. Do not use powdered abrasives or other harsh cleaners like hypochlorite bleach, hydrogen peroxide, nitric or hydrochloric acid, or lye; they may deface the surface and change the finish color. Wood, Solid Wood, and Veneer Surfaces For normal cleaning, dust frequently with a soft, damp (not wet) cloth in the direction of the wood grain. Dry the area thoroughly. For occasional cleanings, use only a non-wax furniture polish that contains no silicone or silicone derivatives. Clean up spills immediately using a blotting action rather than a wiping action. Place a protective surface pad underneath any wet surfaces to prevent any water damage. Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight, as sunlight causes fading. Avoid extremes in room humidity – too high or too low humidity can cause wood to warp or veneer to check. Do not place plastic or rubber objects on wood finish, as their ingredients will react with those of the finish and cause a migration into the wood finish that will appear as a stain. Make minor repairs while they are still small – use a professional service to insure proper repair to the surface.

Wipe dry with a clean cloth. |
